Hi everyone. Founder here. I'm flattered that this popped up on HN. I'm a long-time lurker and browse multiple times a day but seldom post. For some context, you guys are looking at an MVP. It took me a month to build this. The marketing site was done in 2 hours (today, fuelled by coffee). I'm bootstrapping after leaving my corporate job last year. Not trying to make excuses, but I think a lot of questions can simply…

That's awesome! A similar landing page would take me 2 days, I'be agonizing over every detail, and the result wouldn't be half as good. Well done!

It's an interesting idea, but I have a tough time with the premise that people will choose to record a video of themselves for everyday asynchronous communication rather than type a message. There are situations were video or audio deliver more value than text, but what are those situations and are they enough to become a team's main mode of communication? I'm skeptical.

I know exactly the sort of person who would send me a video instead of a text message, and I am glad that (right now) they can't.

Why use this when I can record a video from photobooth and upload it to Slack, where all majority of team conversation already happens for the majority of tech companies with remote workers? Cool idea but doesn't need a separate app.

I have never seen a person do such a thing on Slack.

I believe what I really want is this to be a feature of Slack. Or an integrated 3rd party product.

No certificate / unknown issuer causes big scare page in FF by the way.

Oh and then even if I continue, corporate DNS is blocking you due to "security threat".

This is a perfect example for software that tries to solve a problem that doesn't exist. It can be done with whatever: - record video (notebook / smartphone / ...) - send / share / embed into some other software (messenger / wiki / ...) You are obviously good at marketing stuff (to people who don't know better) and monetizing stuff that is basically free. That cries for an award with a title like "silver ferengi meda…

This comment breaks the site guidelines, first by crossing into personal attack (please don't!), and also arguably by breaking this one:

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

It certainly wouldn't hurt for HN to add some JS to check for 'Show HN' in title posts and prompt to confirm they're following this rule.

That's on my list to do. But the code would be server-side, as nearly everything on HN is.
